I get this error while running sudo apt-get update

What can it be? This is what I have in my /etc/apt/sources.list 

deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free rpi

In the end it was a filesystem issue! I ended up repairing the FS in ubuntu with fsck -y /dev/sdb and then reinstalling apt manualy as plugwash from RaspberryPi Forum suggested

sudo wget http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/a/apt/libapt-pkg4.12_0.9.7.6+rpi1_armhf.deb
sudo wget http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/a/apt/apt_0.9.7.6+rpi1_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i libapt-pkg4.12_0.9.7.6+rpi1_armhf.deb apt_0.9.7.6+rpi1_armhf.deb
sudo apt-get update
